Problem popped again during drive out to country shops on Saturday. Usually picks it's moment like very early am in Le Mans campsites when trying to leave quietly for a trip out or when shutting bootlid in public.

Boot lid not shutting properly - seems to bounce up too much and then requires a double click to re-release for another go. Did spray lubricant a while back but still a pain now and again. Seems to shut OK if dropped from exactly the right height but can take 2 or 3 goes.

Is this a one off? or are there any fixes before next scheduled service in 10 weeks or so.
